External validation gives us the dopamine hit, but is outside of our control. Relying on it breeds anxiety. Our own internal validation is completely within our control, therefore feels settled and calm in the nervous system. We need to give ourselves what we seek from others in order to feel truly whole. 💜
Each section carried the former in the most tender way, with such a clear throughline of Purpose. Persistence is resistance to giving up. Thank you for holding the lantern out for us! <3
Love this - 'There is poetry in persistence' - yes we have to return again and again to the page and make our focus the transformation of what happens there.
Just incase i havent said this in a minute… you’re brilliant.
Grateful to be seen friend 🫂
Every part of this post was beautiful, I want to highlight everything, but this part is so important and I want others to see it.

Well said Janine. I really love this snippet in particular, "We need to give ourselves what we seek..."
Applause is fleeting. Fulfillment (with or without applause) is everlasting.

“There is poetry in persistence
and a quiet faith in returning
again and again to a task
the world deems small.”
I can’t describe how much I needed the blessing I receive from these words
